Need some help:
Trying t o decide tirewheel size for a GT clone for track use. What are advantages/disadvantages of 16 versus 16. Would like to go all 8 inch if possible. I know 16 8s will b emore $$ and tires as well whcih could be reason to avoid. Would aslo like to know your experiences with tire currently in dilema as I have 16 7/8 but good tires are 15 (888s) Thanks up front for input. TOT |

well I for one would reccomend the 16's, tires for 15's ARE hard to find. a 225 does not look right IMHO on a 15x8. I am currently running the piss out of my last set of 245/50/15's and they are no longer made. after they wear out I will do the 16x7/8 combo....and go all track on those 15x8's (of which I have 6) sell my 15x7's and get one more set of 15x8's .....the $215 245/50 race rubber is readily available.....:-)
